Yeah I thought the Evil gimmick was the stupidest thing ive ever seen in the beginning but he has really been booked well enough to run with it

I was talking about Minoru Suzuki being evil.:dwillhuh:

I mean - yes - everything is evil, but Suzuki is way more evil than EVIL.:ld:

Its so true :russ: MiSu is the type of cat that will kidnap you family and make them battle to the death for his amusement.

EVIL will tie them up on the track and wait for a train on some dikk Dastardly and Muttley type shyt.

MiSu won't retire from old age.

He'll just walk back into the ocean like Godzilla, to regenerate and wait for the optimum moment to return and terrorize humanity. :wow:

Our international forgotten nightmare is over. Eddie Edwards ended today his legendary NOAH championship reign losing the title against Kenou.

Also, the Great Kabuki retired on the same show, so, for all of #PuroGang who were desperately waiting for him at the next New Japan Rumble, sad news.
